Nikon Coolpix S9100

As the variety and quantity of "travel zoom" compacts grows, kicked off in earnest by Panasonic's TZ series a couple of years back and now sporting everything from Full HD video and GPS to 3D shooting, it was about time Nikon pimped its Coolpix series and emerged with its own "small camera, big...
Pros:
  • Huge optical zoom range from a camera that will still fit in the pocket
  • Full HD video with stereo sound and HDMI output
  • good build quality
  • easy to use
  • built-in effects filters are fun
Cons:
  • Visible pixel fringing between areas of high contrast and corner softening at maximum wide angle - but neither are uncommon
  • no mains charger

Jury's still out. Not a simple camera.

Auto setting has a pinky rosy hue in all daylight pictures. Use of camera is very complicated and the only way to get a manual is to print it out from on line which gives you a ream of pages that is ridiculous to try to carry around with you.

"Cool Pix!"

We recently took advantage of the great sales and bought ourself a new digitalcamera. We had had one of the little Sony's for about 3 years now and the motor was going on it meaning that it kept shaking and giving me blurry photos so we needed one desperately with a new baby to take photos of.
Pros:
  • Nice features
  • good zoom
  • good pictures
Cons:
  • None

Nikon Coolpix S9100 review

Feeling solid thanks to its mostly metal build when gripped in the palm, and available in a choice of sleek black, silver or red bodies, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S9100 compact camera is most notable for shoehorning in a retracting 18x optical zoom.

I love the camera; not crazy about the photos.

The Nikon S9100 feels so good in my hands. It feels solid and well built. It shoots photos quickly and the photos look so darn good on that little screen on the back of the camera. However, get it home and download the photos on to your computer and you realize the photos are all blurry.
Pros:
  • Well built
Cons:
  • Blurry photos

Nikon Coolpix S9100 Review

Better low-light images seems to be the new mantra of most of the major camera manufacturers. Nikon claims the new S9100 makes "…handheld night-time shooting as easy as taking daytime pictures" (from the Nikon USA website).
Pros:
  • Compact
  • Generous 18x zoom
  • 1080p HD movie
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • No manual modes
  • Digital IS only for movies
